The sea was blue, the sunlight sparkled, the dolphins were cute, and I felt like I wanted to swim forever. Also, all the staff members were really great. I had two close calls due to my mistakes, but both times they kindly helped me out, which was a huge relief...
海が青くて、太陽の光がキラキラ、イルカはかわいいし、もうずっと泳いでいたい気持ちになりました。
また、スタッフさんみなさんとってもよかったです。
私のミスでピンチが2回もありましたが、両方ご厚意でフォローしていただき、とても助かりました・・・。

I have been to Hawaii several times and previously participated in a dolphin school. At that time, I was able to meet the dolphin instructor, but I could hardly see them for a moment. So, this time I enrolled in university for a second chance.
The weather was great, and on the bus ride there, a cheerful lady talked about the dolphin instructor and important notes in a fun way. Her enthusiasm for dolphins was contagious, and I got excited to swim with the dolphin instructor!
Once we boarded the boat, I didn't feel seasick and enjoyed a comfortable cruise. It felt a bit long as we struggled to find the dolphin instructor, but when we finally spotted them, everyone was super excited! We jumped into the sea one after another! Many children participated in the tour, and the staff helped the little ones into the water, pulling them along with floaties, which made it feel safe and enjoyable for families.
When the dolphin instructor approached, the staff shouted, "Look down!" so we swam desperately in that direction. Then, right below us was a pod of dolphins! I couldn't believe how many there were! I was so moved that I forgot to take videos at first and just stared in awe.
After that, we went snorkeling. There weren't many colorful fish, but I enjoyed the beautiful, clear sea. When we got back on the boat, I was hungry and the cheeseburger was really delicious!
A photographer accompanied us and took various pictures, but we couldn't take photos with our own cameras or smartphones, possibly because they wanted us to purchase the photos. I would have loved to take casual pictures with the staff.
I only caught a glimpse of a turtle for a moment, which was disappointing, but meeting so many dolphin instructors became a wonderful memory! On the way back, I was so tired that I fell into a deep sleep and have no recollection of it (laughs).
If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely want to join this tour!
Hawaiiには何度か行った事があり、以前イルカ中学校に参加した事がありました。その時にもイルカ先生には会えたのですが、一瞬でほとんど見えませんでした。なので、今回はリベンジに大学に入学しました。
お天気もよくて、行きのバスの中で元気なお姉さんがイルカ先生についてや、注意事項を楽しく話してくださって、イルカが大好きで熱心な様子も伝わり、早くイルカ先生と泳ぎたい!とテンション上がりました。
船に乗ってからは船酔いもなく、快適なクルージング。
なかなかイルカ先生が見つからず少し長く感じましたが、いざイルカ先生が見つかったらみんなテンションMax‼️
次々に海へ!ツアーにはお子様もたくさん参加していて、小さい子はスタッフの方が一緒に海に入ってくれて海の中でも浮き輪で引っ張ってくれたり、子連れでも安心して楽しめる印象でした。
イルカ先生が近づいてきてくらたら、スタッフが「下見て~!」と叫んでくれるので、必死にそちら側へ泳ぎます。そうすると、真下をイルカ先生の群れが~
こんなにたくさんいるなんて!ホントに感動で、最初は動画とるのも忘れるくらいにただボーっと眺めていました。
その後はシュノーケリングもしました。あんまりカラフルな魚はいなかったけど、透き通った綺麗な海で楽しめました。船にあがったら、チーズバーガーお腹もすいてて、すごく美味しかったです‼️
写真は、カメラマンさんが同行していて、いろんな写真を撮ってくれていましたが、その写真を購入してほしいからか、自分たちのカメラやスマホでは写真を撮ってもらえませんでした。スタッフの方との写真が気軽に撮れたら嬉しかったです。
カメさんは、1匹一瞬しか見えなかったので残念でしたが、たくさんのイルカ先生に会えたのはいい思い出になりました!
帰りのバスは疲れて爆睡で記憶がありません(笑)
また、Hawaiiに行く機会があればぜひ参加したいと思えるツアーでした。
Thank you for participating in Dolphin University! We sincerely look forward to your next visit. MAHALO!!
ALOHA!! この度はイルカ大学にご参加いただきありがとうございました。またのお越しを心よりお待ちしております。 MAHALO!!

During our recent trip to Hawaii, we finally got to participate in a tour with wild dolphins at Dolphin University, which we had been looking forward to. We were a family of four, and I was a bit nervous about whether we would encounter dolphins, especially since I had my 5-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter with me. However, we were fortunate enough to come across a large pod, and my son, who was snorkeling for the second time, was incredibly excited to see them. He enjoyed snorkeling and kayaking until the very end! We were thoroughly satisfied with the warm support from the staff, and I definitely want to join this tour again on our next trip to Hawaii! I highly recommend it!!!
この度のハワイ旅行で、念願の野生イルカとのツアーで【名門イルカ大学】にヒットし、家族四人で参加させてもらいました。
イルカに遭遇できるか?5才の息子と9才の娘と一緒だったため、小さな子どもたちでもちゃんと見れるか?ドキドキでしたが、見事大きな大群に出逢えてシュノーケル2回目だった5才の息子も大群を見ることが出来て大興奮でしたし、一番最後までシュノーケルもカヤックも楽しんでました!スタッフの方々のあたたかいサポートにも終始大満足で、次回のハワイ旅行の時にも是非また参加したいと思えるツアーでした!超~オススメですよ!!!!!

Our captain Mark along with Nick and Emily made of this a fantastic experience. It was fun, great music, good food and more importantly we felt safe and taken care of the whole time. Getting on and off the catamaran at the beach was an interesting experience but it just added fun to the whole thing. Our tour was not packed and that added personalization from the crew. The snorkeling was beautiful. Saw turtles and so many different fishes.

I apologize for the long message.
I participated with my three children early in the morning on July 19, but unfortunately, we didn't get to see any dolphins. To make matters worse, it seemed that the day was affected by a typhoon, and the waves were quite rough, making for a really tough tour.
As the main event of our Hawaii trip, I wanted my sons, who love swimming, to swim with dolphins. After reading many reviews, I chose this tour, which allows participation from age two, and I was really looking forward to it. I woke up early and took all three kids with me. I wanted to create good memories, so I purchased a USB and an SD card in advance as recommended.
However, after boarding the boat and being tossed around in the rough waves for over an hour while searching for dolphins, even our family, who usually doesn't get seasick, started to feel unwell, along with other participants.
We changed our plans and started with free snorkeling time, but as soon as the boat finally stopped, the nausea peaked... Many people felt sick and were resting on the boat.
Even though we felt unwell, we decided to jump into the sea, but the wave conditions were quite severe, making it difficult even for adults to snorkel. It was a challenging task for my husband and me to care for our three children while swimming, and our four-year-old and two-year-old sons were crying. There were only a few crew members in the water to support us, and there were no floatation devices for the kids. Of course, it wasn't a situation where anyone could play on the trampoline or paddleboard; it seemed like no one was having fun. We returned to the boat early, but the seasickness didn't go away, and eventually, our second son got sick. The only one who enjoyed the slide was our eight-year-old son.
Despite purchasing the SD card and USB in advance, I didn't even realize that underwater photos were being taken, as we spent so little time in the water. I regret buying them since we didn't get to see any dolphins. (Moreover, for some reason, I can't open the photos on the USB after returning home.)
Even after returning to the boat, the seasickness lingered, and I felt unwell, not to mention we hardly saw any dolphins or turtles, so I didn't even feel like eating a cheeseburger. There were a few others who were also taking out food. On the way back, there was a hula dance performance, but the mood inside the boat had dropped significantly, and the crew's high spirits felt out of place.
I heard that other tour companies also didn't encounter any dolphins that day, and I understand that it's nature, so it's not 100% guaranteed. However, most of the time was spent traveling, and the sea conditions were terrible, leaving us with hardly any time in the water. Overall, I was left with dissatisfaction regarding the photos and videos. We received a voucher for half-price participation next time, but it's not easy for our family to come to Hawaii again, and I can't justify the cost of over 80,000 yen for that experience.
If participation is allowed from age two, I wish they would consider more accommodations for children. We have participated in various activities as a family before, but this was the most expensive tour with the lowest satisfaction. While our family trip to Hawaii was enjoyable, thinking back on this day makes me sad.
長文になります、すみません。
7/19早朝から子供3人を連れて参加しましたが、残念ながらイルカには会えませんでした。それどころか、その日は台風の影響らしく波がかなりうねっていて本当に辛いツアーになりました。
今回のハワイ旅行のメインとして、泳ぐのが大好きな息子達にイルカと一緒に泳がせてあげたいと思い、口コミもたくさん読んで2歳から参加できるこのツアーを選びものすごく楽しみに、がんばって早起きをして3人連れて行きました。いい思い出を残したいと思い、USBもSDカードもすすめられるがまま事前に購入しました。
しかし、船に乗って荒々しい波に延々一時間以上?揺られながらイルカを探しまわるが現れず、その時点で船酔いしない我が家も、他の参加者も具合が悪そうに…⤵
予定を変更して、先にフリーシュノーケルタイムと、やっと停舶したと同時に気持ち悪さがピークに。。。何人もの方が気持ちが悪くなって船で休んでいました。
我が家も気持ち悪いながらも
せっかくだからと思いきって海に飛び込みましたが、波のうねりがかなりひどく、大人でもシュノーケルが難しい状況なうえに、夫婦で3人の子供達をケアしながら泳ぐのは至 難の技で、4歳と2歳の息子は号泣。それでも海に入ってるクルーはわずかだし、子供へのサポートや浮き具なども特になし。もちろんトランポリンやパドルボートなどで遊べるような状況ではなく、誰も遊んでいなかったようです。早々に船に戻るも船酔いが治らず、とうとう次男は戻してしまいました。唯一8才の息子は滑り台は楽しんでいましたが。
事前にSDカード&USBを購入したのにも関わらず、肝心な水中での写真なんて撮られている自覚もありません、そもそも海に入ってる時間がわずかだったので。イルカに会えないなら買わなければ良かったと思っています。(しかも、帰国してからなぜかUSBの写真が開けない)
船に戻っても船酔いが治らず、気持ちは悪いわイルカにも亀にもろくに会えないわで、チーズバーガーなんてましてや食べる気になりませんでした。同じようにテイクアウトしてる人も、何人かいました。帰りもフラダンスの披露などありましたが、もう船内のテンションは落ちまくり、クルー達の高いテンションは空回り、といった感じでした。
その日は他のツアー会社もどこもイルカに遭遇できなかったとのことで、自然のものなので、100%ではないのは承知済みですが、ほとんどが移動で終わり、さらに海のコンディションは最悪で水中にはほとんど入れず、写真や動画撮影に対しても、全てにおいて不満だけが残りました。次回半額で参加できるバウチャーを、いただきましまが、我が家にとってそんなに簡単にハワイに来られる訳でもありませんし、そもそもあの内容に対しての5人で80000円以上の負担は納得がいきません。
2歳から参加OKとしているなら、もっと子供への配慮を考えてほしいものです。今まで様々なアクティビティに、家族で参加してきましたが、今までで一番高額で 満足度は一番低いツアーでした。今回の家族でのハワイ旅行は楽しかったですが、この日のことを思い出すと悲しくなります。

I participated with my elderly husband's parents. My mother is a good swimmer, but she was worried because of her mobility issues. However, with the support of our guide, Saki, she was able to enjoy the tour until the end.
We were very lucky to encounter dolphins right after we set sail. However, I was surprised that we had to dive from the boat to swim with the dolphins. Because of this, my mother was too scared to enter the water, but we were still able to see the dolphins from the boat. They were very cute, jumping and spinning around. When my husband and I jumped in at Saki's signal, we were able to see a large group of ten dolphins right below us. We were very excited to see the dolphins up close.
I have participated in various dolphin tours overseas, but this was the first time I saw wild dolphins swimming in the ocean, so it was a great experience. We also got to see many turtles.
With Saki's help, my parents were able to get close to see the turtles as well.
I am truly grateful to Saki and all the staff at Dolphin & You for their kindness. It really became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much. Next time, I would like to participate with my husband.
I believe the photo we took at the end of the tour, where everyone is smiling, shows how enjoyable this tour was. I hope this happiness comes across in the photo I’m posting.
Dolphin & You is the best!
高齢の主人の両親と参加しました。
母は泳ぎが得意ですが足が不自由ということで心配していましたがガイドのサキさんのサポートもあり最後までツアーを楽しむことが出来ました。
お目当てのイルカさんには出港後すぐに遭遇出来非常にラッキーでした。
しかしイルカと泳ぐのに船からダイブということには私も驚きました。
その為、母は怖がってしまい海に入ることは出来ませんでしたが、
船上からもイルカが確認出来ました。ジャンプしたり回転したりとても可愛いかったです。
私達夫婦はサキさんの合図で飛び込んだ所、真下で10匹の大軍を見ることが出来ました。
間近でみるイルカにはとても興奮しました、
今まで海外でイルカに関する色々なツアーに参加しましたが
野生のイルカが海の中で泳ぐ姿をみたのは初めてでしたので、良い経験が出来ました。
またたくさんの亀も見ることが出来ました。
亀は両親もサキさんの助けを借りて近くまで見に行くことが出来ました。
サキさんはじめドルフィン&ユーのスタッフ皆さんにはとてもよくしていただき本当に感謝です。本当にとてもいい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。
次回は夫婦で参加したいと思います。
ツアーの最後で撮った写真が皆笑顔でこのツアーの楽しさがわかると思います。
このハッピーさが伝わるといいなと思い写真投稿します。

Honestly, I underestimated it. I thought that "swimming with dolphins" would just mean seeing the shadows of dolphins in the distance... I was completely wrong. The dolphins were swimming right next to me. There were so many dolphins swimming close enough that I could reach out and touch them. Occasionally, they would come closer, swimming in circles right beneath me, and when they put their heads in the water, I could hear their sounds, like "wee-wee." It was truly an amazing experience.
After that, we had activities like kayaking and paddleboarding, and I was able to see sea turtles up close. The stand-up paddleboarding was a bit challenging for me, but I enjoyed snorkeling enough. I learned that sea turtles come up for air about every 20 minutes, and they would suddenly appear from the seabed, swimming alongside us for photos, and then another turtle would come up... it was fantastic.
The weather was great, and the sea was calm, making it an absolutely wonderful experience.
正直舐めてました。「イルカと泳げる」なんて、どうせ遠くにイルカの影が見えるだけだろうと...
完全な間違いでした。まさにイルカが本当にすぐ近くを泳いでました。手を伸ばせば届くようなところに何匹も何匹もイルカが泳いでいました。時よりこっちに近づいてきては、自分の真下でぐるぐる回りながら泳いでいたり、そして水に頭をつけると、「キュイーンキュイーン」とそのイルカたちの鳴き声が聞こえました。本当に素晴らしい体験でした。
その後はカヤックやパドルボートでのアクティビティでしたが、なんとここではウミガメを間近で見ることができました。スタンドアップパドルボートは私には少し難しかったのですが、シュノーケリングだけでも十分楽しめました。ウミガメは20分ぐらいに一度息継ぎのために海面に上がってくるそうで、あちこちでウミガメが突如海底から姿を現しては一緒に泳いで写真をとって、また別のウミガメが上がってきて..といった感じで最高でした。
天気も良く、海も凪いでおり実に素晴らしい体験でした。
Aloha!! Thank you for participating in the tour! I'm glad to hear that you had the opportunity to meet our friendly dolphin instructors and turtle professors, and truly experience "swimming with dolphins." Their sounds are so cute, aren't they? We look forward to seeing you again! Mahalo!!

We participated in this tour for our honeymoon. My husband can't swim at all, but we searched for marine sports that he could enjoy and signed up for this tour. In the end, there were no problems at all!! My husband says it became his most enjoyable memory in Hawaii.
I noticed many reviews mentioned they didn't know where breakfast was, so we ate beforehand. As the reviews indicated, there was no breakfast provided. The only things mentioned were snacks and water.
There was one woman who spoke Japanese, and she explained everything throughout the tour, which made us feel at ease. We went to a sandbar by boat before using the underwater scooter, and we enjoyed paddling on a standing boat! There were two boats, and with four groups of participants, we took turns having fun! Everyone was able to get on easily.
We spent quite a bit of time at the sandbar, just when everyone started to feel a bit bored! It was a really beautiful sandbar, about knee-deep.
And finally, the underwater scooter!! I thought we would have to wear a wetsuit over our swimsuits, but we just got on the scooter in our swimsuits and dove in. At the moment of entering the helmet part of the scooter, you have to close your eyes and dive into the sea, but there is one diver assigned to each participant, so it's okay. When entering the sea from the boat, the diver supports your body, which is reassuring.
Also, if your phone is in a waterproof case, you can take lots of pictures from inside the helmet! I was worried about the water pressure, but there were no issues at all! The operation of the scooter was simple and easy. The scooter had food attached, and when I held the net with the food, many fish came to eat from my hand!
We were lucky enough to see a sea turtle, which was amazing. The diver took photos and videos for us. It was about $45 for the photos and videos, and it was a bit cheaper for just the photos. We wrote down two email addresses to receive them later. Payment was possible by card, but there was a small fee.
We didn't bring a card and only had about $30, but when we were sent back to the hotel, we had the driver wait while I went to get the money from our room, and that was no problem. They sent the photos the very next day!
I was very satisfied with the many photos taken of my husband and me riding the scooter surrounded by fish!! For snorkeling, we borrowed the equipment and enjoyed it while the next person took their turn on the underwater scooter. Since there was no diver with the snorkeling, it's better for non-swimmers not to do it.
I'll attach some photos, but the underwater scooter photos were taken from my phone!
新婚旅行で参加させて頂きました。旦那は全く泳げないけど、それでも楽しめるマリンスポーツを探しこのツアーを申し込みました。
結果、全く問題ありませんでした!!旦那はハワイで一番楽しい思い出になったと言っています。
口コミで朝食はどこにあるのかわからなかったという意見が多数あったので事前に食べてから参加しました。口コミ通り、朝食は用意ありませんでした。
説明されたのは、スナック菓子とお水だけです。
女性の日本語が話せる人が1人いて、ツアー中はずっとその人が説明してくれたので安心しました。
水中スクーターの前にボートでサンドバーに行き、立って漕ぐボートを楽しみました!
そのボートは2つあり、参加者は4組いたので交代交代で楽しみました!みんな簡単に乗れてました。
みんなが少し飽きたなーくらい結構な時間をサンドバーで楽しみました!
凄く綺麗なサンドバーで膝上くらいの高さでした。
そしてついに水中スクーター!!
水着の上にウエットスーツを着るのかと思いましたが、水着のままスクーターに乗り潜りました。
スクーターのヘルメット部分に入る瞬間は、目をつむり海に潜らなければならないけれど参加者1人に対し1人のダイバーさんが付くので大丈夫です。船から海に入る時もダイバーさんが体を支えてくれるので安心です。
それと携帯は、水が入らないケースにいれていれば
ヘルメットの中から写真をたくさん撮れました!
水圧とかで変にならないか不安でしたけど全く問題ありませんでした!
スクーターの操作も単純で簡単。
スクーターには餌が付いてて、その餌の網を自分で握ったら自分の手からたくさんの魚が食べに来ました!
運良く海亀もみれたし、最高でした。
ダイバーさんが写真と動画を撮ってくれました。
写真と動画で、たしか45ドル。写真だけだと少し安かったはずです。
メールアドレスを2つ書いて渡し、後日送ってくれるシステムです。カードでも支払い可能でしたが手数料が少しかかったはずです。
私たちは最低限の30ドル程度とカードも持ってきてなかったんですが、帰りホテルに送ってもらうときに運転手に待っていてもらい、部屋に取りに行き渡したら問題なかったです。
写真は次の日すぐ送ってくれました!
旦那と横に並んでスクーターに乗り、魚に囲まれてる写真をたくさん撮って貰えて大満足でした!!
シュノーケルは私たちが水中スクーターを終え、交代で次の人が水中スクーターをしている間に、勝手に道具を借り楽しむスタイルでした。シュノーケルはダイバーさんは付かないので泳げない人はやらない方がいいです。
写真を載せますが水中スクーターの写真は携帯から撮ったものです\(^o^)/

This is my second time on this tour, and I'm very satisfied with the morning tour as it's cheaper. The check-in location is easy to find since there's only one small booth at the entrance of the main pier. The boat is quite large as it has two levels. Waking up early allows for a productive day.

I was really looking forward to swimming with dolphins this time. I woke up at 5 AM, rubbing my sleepy eyes, and had breakfast before heading out for this tour.
Even for someone with diving experience like me, encountering such a large group of dolphins was truly moving.
They were moving in a large group just below the surface. Just when you think they've gone, they come back again.
It was truly a generous experience.
It felt as if they were inviting us.
They showed no signs of fear towards us.
During the cruise, the cheerful staff kept the atmosphere lively with Hawaiian dances and conversations, making it absolutely the best experience.
今回は、イルカと一緒に泳ぐことができるということで、
楽しみにしていました。朝5時に起き眠い目をこすりながら
ブレックファーストしこのツアーに臨みました。
ダイビングの経験がある私にとっても、これほどのイルカの大群に逢えるとは・・・・。
まさに感動ものでした。
水面、割と深くを大群で移動しているんですね。行ったかと思うとまた、戻ってくるんですね
まさに、大サービスです。
まるで、我々を誘っているかのように。
我々をを怖がる様子もなく。
クルーズ中は陽気なスタッフのハワイアンダンスとハワイアントークで盛り上がり
まさに最高でした。

マンタに出会えるか心配でしたが、会えるわ!近いわ!びっくりでした!
友達などにも教えてあげたいです。
Aloha!
Thank you for participating!
It seems you were able to see many mantas! I hope you were healed by the magical night sea.
Please come back to experience the great nature of the Big Island again.
Mahalo!
Aloha!

たくさんのマンタに会えたようですね!幻想的な夜の海に癒されたのではないでしょうか。

I was a bit worried before participating because there was a possibility that we might not see anything after coming all the way to the Big Island and paying money, but... we did see them (^_^). It was thrilling to see them up close. However, I did get seasick... I had never experienced motion sickness or seasickness before, but this time I was really affected (*_*). The boat rocked quite a bit before the manta rays appeared at the spot. I ended up giving up halfway, but the guide was very kind and reassuring throughout the trip. Since you get wet and it can be very cold on the way back, I definitely think you should bring something to wear over yourself!! My husband was shivering too (laughs). If you take motion sickness medication and are well-prepared, it’s a very satisfying tour☆
ハワイ島まで来て、お金も払って、
見られない可能性があるということで参加前は少し心配していましたが、、、見られました(^_^)
間近で見られて感激です。
ただ船酔いが…
今まで乗り物酔い、船酔いとしたことがなかったのですががっつり酔ってしまいました(*_*)
ポイントについてからマンタが現れるまでがかなり揺れます。
途中でギブアップしてしまいましたが、ガイドさんが終始優しく対応してくれて安心しました。
体が濡れて帰りはとても寒いので羽織るものを絶対に持っていった方がいいと思います!!
旦那も震えてました(笑)
酔い止め飲んで装備もしっかりしていけばとても満足なツアーですよ☆
Thank you for the advice on enjoying the tour. Manta University has night tours, so even in summer, it's essential to prepare for the cold. For those who will be participating, please be sure to bring a jacket or similar clothing. Thank you for your feedback.
ツアーを楽しむためのアドバイスありがとうございます。
マンタ大学は夜のツアーのこともあり、夏といえども防寒対策は必須です。
これからご参加されます皆様も、ジャケット等を必ずお持ちください。
ご意見ありがとうございました。

Great catamaran sail from the Hilton Hawaiian Village. We swam with sea turtles and saw dolphins on the cruise back to the hotel. Great crew. Lunch was just o/k.

This was my second time participating.
It was his first time.
As soon as we left the port, we encountered a pod of dolphins, and thanks to the staff's perfect timing, we jumped into the water!
There were so many dolphins within reach.
During my first time, I was too excited to listen, but this time I made an effort to hear the dolphins' voices.
I could clearly hear them, and it gave me goosebumps!
While snorkeling, we saw turtles multiple times and swam together at a distance that felt almost too close.
The staff were all high-energy and really made the experience enjoyable!
He also had a great time and was very satisfied.
今回2度目の参加をしました。
彼は初めてでした。
港を出てすぐにイルカの群れに会い、スタッフの方の最高のタイミングで海にin☆
手が届きそうな距離にたくさんのイルカ♡
1度目はテンションが上がりすぎて聞けなかった、イルカの声を聞こうと頑張りました。
はっきりと声が聞こえ鳥肌がたちました♡
シュノーケリングでは何度もカメが現れ、ぶつかりそうな距離で一緒に泳ぎました。
スタッフの方もみんなハイテンションで盛り上げてくれ、とっても楽しかったです!
彼も楽しかった〜と大満足でした。
Aloha!
Thank you for re-enrolling! How was the healing class with Teacher Iruka?
Please join us again when you come to Hawaii.

The Hawaii Nautical Honi Olani was a great snorkeling adventure. On my trip we saw 5 turtles. I was very impressed by the snorkel guides knowledge of the turtles and where to go to see turtles. While in the water they pretty much gave you the ability to swim freely and explore the cannel. If you swam or drifted to far the snorkel guide would keep an eye on you and ask you to swim in. I felt very safe and knew that if anything happened the boat crew and snorkel guide would be there immediately. I would also like to give the boat crew an appreciation shout out for picking up beach balls and trash that were floating in the ocean. I am very pleased to see that they our environment. If you are looking for a relaxing snorkel adventure where you can see sea creatures in their natural habitat I would definitely recommend Hawaii Nautical Honi Olani.

We did this as part of our anniversary week in Oahu and all I can say is if you are "thinking" of doing this, stop thinking and just DO IT! It's an experience you will never forget and the fact that we got to pet and swim along a sea turtle in the ocean is simply awesome!! The crew was amazing, the water was warm and it's something we'll never forget, the crew made this a very memorable experience.

It was my second time, but it was my family's first.
From the window, you can see the mysterious underwater scenery.
The explanations are thorough (in English) and really get you excited.
Don't miss the moment when bubbles rise up and you quickly surface.
Make sure to have your smartphone ready.
It's even more fun to capture it on video.
僕は二度目でしたが、家族は初めて。
窓からは不思議な海の底の様子がうかがえます。
説明も丁寧(英語)でテンションを上げてくれます。
浮上の際に泡がぶくぶく上がって海面に急浮上するところはお見逃しなく。
スマホの用意を忘れずに。
動画で撮るとなお面白いです。
Thank you very much for participating in the submarine tour.
We are very pleased to hear that you recommended it to your family.
The sight of bubbles rising and the submarine surfacing quickly is truly mysterious, isn't it?
I believe it's an experience that is hard to come by.
We look forward to your next participation.

We really enjoyed the snorkel sail tour. The crew of the catamaran were very friendly and knowledgable about the island and the event. The actual snorkeling was fun and we saw several green sea turtles but the waters were crowded with too many other vacationers. The deli style lunch with bar was perfect for this event. The sail back to the marina was great fun!

I had a wonderful experience meeting both dolphins and turtles. However, it can be cold on the boat, and for first-timers, jumping straight into the ocean and swimming non-stop might be a bit surprising! The final dance was amazing! ★
イルカにもカメにも会えてとても素敵な経験ができました。
ただ、船上は寒い&初めての人はいきなり海に入って、ひたすら泳ぐのでちょっとびっくりするかもしれません!
最後のダンスが最高でした★
Thank you for your feedback.
When you are wet and exposed to the wind on the boat, the perceived temperature drops significantly. I think it would be great if all participants could bring windbreakers or jackets for warmth.
I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the final hula and the Nanakuli Ondo.
Please join us again!

ご意見ありがとうございます。
濡れた体で船上の風をあびると体感温度がとても下がります。ご参加されるみなさまにもぜひ防寒のできるウインドブレーカーやジャケット等をお持ちいただけると良いかと思います。
最後のフラ、ナナクリ音頭楽しんでいただけたようで嬉しく思います。
またぜひご参加ください。
